For new numbers released by the u. S. Department of labor show almost 3 million more americans filed for firsttime jobless claims last week. We bring in ellie to discuss the numbers. Experts say these numbers are worse than expected.

There is concern the people may be afraid to go to the hospital even if they are expressing symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, because they are worried about being exposed to the coronavirus. You see the hospitals in new york, you get the word to stay out of hospitals, the worst place to be, and i think that branding really had an effect on peoples logic and the way they were thinking.
